First Video Tutorial

I picked up a cool little gadget with some of my Christmas money. It is called a "flip video" camcorder. I wanted something basic so that I could show a few video tutorials. So be kind, this is my first one. I'm sure as I get better at the editing process my videos will improve, but we all have to start somewhere, right?

The video shows the main colored image and a couple of tricks that I use with my copic markers. Thanks for watching!Supplies,Crafty Secrets stampBasic Grey DP (mellow)Ornare paper piercing template and piercerNestabilitiesCopic MarkersGrungeboard flourish (Ranger)

Sherrie, that was awesome! Not only did I feel like I was right in your studio with you, I learned some GREAT tips for using my Copics! Thank you so much! (you cracked me up with your coffee and grapes. . .it did make me feel "at home" in your studio though!) LOL Happy New Year!

Great video tutorial -- can't believe it's your first -- you seemed like a pro! I really enjoy your blog and now that you've added this new feature it's going to just improve on a blog that was already great! Congratulations on your new flip video (now I want one -- not that I'd ever do a tutorial but to catch little things I might otherwise wish I had on video). Thanks!

sure you can ask a question Carmen, the main difference for me is that my copics are refillable and have replaceable nibs so I don't need to buy markers again! I have heard from people who own both that the copics are way less "streaky" than prismas. There are also a lot more colors in the copic line. Those are the main difference....of coarse the copics are a bit pricier.

Wow..that was great for your first one. You know what I liked about it? That I could keep the already made card and the video tutorial window in the same screen so I could keep looking back and forth. Great tips, too.

great tutorial-my Flip is already having to go back in for repairs. it wont update the software-I gave everyone one when I found them at Costco. Guess I can go play with my copics after the game since its gonna drop up to ten inches here-what fun. Yuck.

Sherrie, that was awesome!!! I have been kicking around the idea of purchasing Copics but now after watching your tutorial I know I want them. LOL Great job, I can't wait to see more! Happy New Year!!!

Just wonderful, Sherrie. Love hearing the voice that goes with all that fabulous stamping talent! Can't wait to try out all those wonderful tips with my new Copics. Thanks for a great tutorial. Have a super 2008!

This is such an awesome tutorial and one that many people can apply to their artwork, even if they don't have copic markers (like me!). But I must say, I have been looking into them for myself, but because they aren't cheap, it's good to have a tutorial to know what to do with them, before making the leap to purchase so thanks for sharing with us. Also, I noticed you used Nestablilites on this card as well, maybe food for thought, a Nestabilities tutorial in the future?

Sherrie, thank you so much. I loved the tutorial and found it very informative. Thanks for sharing your tricks of the trade! I hope you'll do more in the future... I will definitely visit your blog again. Best Regards!

WOW Sherrie. I saw your other tutorial and did not know you had this one too!! This is a wonderful tool, and I felt like you were right next to me showing my step-by-step how to color with copics...which was fantastic, since I am starting to aquire those markers. Great tip on the adirondock ink..I was wanting another ink...so I did not have to heat set before coloring in...I had my coffee too...Perfect blend. You are very descriptive, clear & precise...Keep the tutorials coming..Love how you also colored on a scrap to match your cardstock..wonderful tips..chris
